Shit looks like medieval VTM and V Rising smashed together with some Wukong vibes. This game will be good, calling it early.
Aside from having vampires, there’s nothing about this game revealed so far that resembles Bloodlines specifically. If you’re expecting it to be particularly like Bloodlines, then you’re setting yourself up for failure.

I said "VTM", not "Bloodlines" bro. VTM is more than Bloodlines, it has a whole ass setting set in the dark ages.

My response is the same. What wouldn’t invite that comparison?

Your response is retarded and you're too big of a faggot to stfu and admit you didn't think I didn't mean bloodlines. Stop replying.

Ex witcher devs will become ex devs if they do not deliver soon

Here is a list of studios under review and potentially at risk:

Fantastic Pixel Castle - (Greg Street's MMO project)
Rebel Wolves - (Former Witcher devs)
Worlds Untold - (shuttered in November)
SkyBox Labs - (rumors of issues)
Bad Brain Game Studios
Jackalyptic Games - (Warhammer MMO)
Jark of Sparks - Funding pulled in JanuaryAnchor Point Studios
T-Minus Zero Entertainment
BulletFarm
Quantic Dream - (rumored to be in trouble)
Spliced
Anchor Point Studios

These are huge investments by Netease, founded by top veterans from AAA gaming, and mostly made during the high-flying game demand driven by Covid boredom. A demand which has since contracted.
We'll soon see what studios remain funded, and which are left scrambling for new investors in a climate where, according to my source, it is extremely difficult to find game investors.

ex witcher devs became a meme in poland
What do you mean?
every single gaym developed in poland got ex cdpr devs. They hired lots of people and squeezed them dry up to the point that most left. Go figure
It's the same over here in Czechia with Mafia or KCD. If your studio has even one person who worked on such a game, even if all he was was a junior tester at QA who left after one month, the studio will proudly market their new game with "FROM THE CREATORS OF X" or describe itself as a "Studio of veterans who worked on X"

I'm shocked how many Eurofag studios have bedded with Netease/Tencent.

Shame about Quantic Dream.

Netease is controlled(over 50% of shares owned) by the founder, Ding Lei. Ever since the pandemic he has been agressively buying western assets and investing in western studios. Not only that, he has bought a mansion that belonged to Elon Musk and now lives in LA.

There was even talk about redomiciling and relisting the company in the US. Dude must have had a wake up call by now. Most of the company's revenues and profit still come from China and MMO games. His investiments in the west haven't really paid off I think.

Well that’s too bad. Almost nobody with actual skill and wherewithal likes making decent games specifically about vampires. I was hoping that Dawnwalker would inspire a new wave.
